Honestly? Nothing. And that’s the point. You know that “clean” taste from store-bought water? That’s reverse osmosis in action. It’s so pure, it’s almost suspicious.
Your first sip might make you go, “Is this… blank?” Yes. And it’s glorious. No more weird tap-water aftertaste, no metallic twang from pipes—just silence on your tongue.
It’s like the water version of a white noise machine—refreshingly uneventful.
Wait, does it waste water?
Okay, fine, you caught me. Reverse osmosis does waste some water—usually 3 to 4 gallons for every gallon it filters. Yikes, right?
How Does A Water Filtration System Work
But modern systems are getting better, and that “waste” water can go to your plants or lawn. So your garden gets a drink while your kitchen gets the VIP treatment. It’s a win-win-green-thumb situation.
Just don’t use the waste water for your cat. Unless you want a very confused, slightly damp cat.
